Walk Score
This came up in conversation over the weekend, so here’s a link to the Walk Score website to share… Our house gets a 74 out of 100. What about you?

62. But we walk to things that computers apparently don’t know about.

We have a walk score of 77 (Bush and Yosemite in MV). The general idea is quite interesting, though I think the implementation needs work. It only listed 8 restauants withing walking distance!!
